A bit of a shout out about a great reading on Sunday night for Sarah Browning -- dear friend of VRZHU Press -- whose new book Whiskey In The Garden of Eden has just been released by Word Works Press.
The reading at Busboys & Poets was really wonderful and was preceded by a celebratory reading of five poets with new chapbooks out, including VRZHU's very own Michael Gushue reading from his new chapbook from Pudding House Press.
Browning chose to celebrate the release by inviting local poets to read some of their favorite work. Poets who read at the readings included Melissa Tuckey, Kim Roberts, Esther Iverem, Fred Joiner, Naomi Ayala, Reggie Cabico, Mary Ann Larkin and many more.
To see photos from the evening taken by yours truly, visit my flicker page.
The book is truly spectacular and highly recommended to anyone interested in great poetry.
Great photos and it sounds like an amazing evening. Congrats to Michael on his new chapbook!

Thank you so much for the write-up, Dan, and for the gorgeous photos. I had no idea I was so photogenic in reflection...
Much love.

I stumbled (because I'm wearing my brother's shoes, not mine) over your site by wonderful accident. How, well let me explain (don't touch my typing fingers): I was looking up a poet, Perry Brass, and found two enjoyable samples of his work on your site.
Now let me ask you a question (actually two, ok so I can't do K-3 math):
1. How can I easily stay in touch with your site?
2. What should I do to get my first book/chapbook published? I promise I won't sue if your answer doesn't put me on right road acceleriter. (My son's a corporate attorney and doesn't annoy individuals.)
Looking forward (easier on the neck than backward),
David Schultz
